images are made for the Buddhists. In
making the larger idols, those varying
from one to eight feet i'll height and usu-
ally IN a sitting posture. they first nal "a
model of the figure in wax. Into this
model they stick small nails IA few inches
apart and projecting slightly. Then the
image is covered with u coating of fine
sand mixed with clay sufficiently wet to
be easily nodded. The projecting nails
serve to prevent the coating from falling
oil before it becomes hard. After it has
been dried in the sun the idol is put into
II furnace and burned, when the wax
melts. and. running out, is collected for
use another time. Melted brass is then
poured over the image and evenly
spread until the whole surface is covered
with a thin coat of the metal. A smooth
ing and polishing process finishes the
work. and the resplendent image is ready
for the alteration Of the multitude. The
small silver idols are made in II different
way. The maker has n hard wood
molel called II type. He takes common
coin silver. beats it out into "a thin sheet,
and cover, the model, pressing it close i'll
every part until it assumes tlN. exact
shape desired. 1t is largest at the lower
end. which is left open that the model
may bc drawn out. Melted pitch is
poured into the hollow shell of silver leaf
and then the idol is polished. usual,

The unprecedented sale of Boschee' 4
German Syr1p, within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is, without
doubt, the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the s%everest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely diff
ferent principle from the usual prescrip-
tons given by physicians, as it does not
dry up a cough and leave the disease still
in the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and 4 long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price, ~ cents, large
bottles.

PICTORIAL ART IN THE PRESS.


- ~ ltf
The death OF James a. Wales. the ZAP
%toonist. calls to mind how sudden has been
the development OF the branch Of art he
represented and how great the prosperity
OF those concerned in it in this country.
/ had u friend who once put every dollar
OF IA considerable fortune in n factory Tor
making hair nets for women. \ month
later the Empress Eugene decided to do
up her hair with pins, and my friend
couldn't get rid of his factory ns n gift.
Exactly the contrary WIS the case of Mr..
V. Gribayedoif, who came to this town an
accomplished etcher and with n taste for
drawing. He could not have drawn for
the newspapers then II he had wanted to
for nothing. War maps and portraits OF
desperate criminals were the only forms
of pictorial art then known in the press.
Suddenly-only the other day, as it
seems-pictorial press associations were
formed for supplying the papers Of the
country with portraits and sketches OF
notable persons and things. The most
~ente-prising of the city dailies elaborated
the idea to embrace Me widest range of
Illustrations Gribayedof found himself
so much in demand that he coull scarcely
get time for sleep. w. A McDougnll and
his apt associate, Mr.. Felson, were drafted
from the art world, and even such n man
as c. j. Taylor, of Puck, who has won
honors at the academy, was pulled at
times into this newspaper work
Almost as rapid has been the demand
for comic and cartoon work. The Amer
can cartoon practically had its birth in
Tweed's time Mt the hands of n man who
could hardly have been called nm artist,
so rudely did he draw. But he had the
faculty for Selling public attention with
vigorous cartoons upon the follies and
abuses Of the hour, and these were more
telling than speech or writing Then
came Joseph Keppler with his humor,
his arti ,tic sense and training and his
bold grasp of timely subjects. After that,

these weeklies far exceeds the supply,
and possibly half of those who now Illus
trate these papers ARE little better quail
fled, so far az artistic schooling Is con
cerned. than the progenitor OF their craft
in this country Such "A one was he,
Wales, who knew what to draw rather
than how to draw, and in his time was as
prosperous rs the rest, though he could
not stand good luck AS well rs they.
But, good or bad, trained or crude,
these men ARE all doing vastly well. The
newspaper artists | have mentioned make
from 81, 900 to ~, 900 apiece, or more than
twice the pay of any reporters whose sto-
ries they Illustrate, except one. Thomas
Mast gets $40, 900 n year, keppler is worth
